What are the health benefits of flaxseed?
Flaxseed is milled, so you can add it to your food easier and your body can put it to work more efficiently! Here are some flaxseed benefits:
- Flaxseeds are rich in Omega-3: a mere dessertspoon (approx.15g) of Linwoods milled flaxseeds provides 9.5g of omega-3 fatty acids. The type of omega-3 it contains is called Alpha-linolenic Acid, which is one of the two essential fatty acids you need to consume through your diet. If you don’t eat fish or are vegetarian, flaxseed is a great way to get your omega-3s in.
- Flaxseeds are a great source of fibre: flaxseeds provide an impressive amount of dietary fibre, both soluble and insoluble. Soluble fibre can help to lower cholesterol and regulate blood sugar. Insoluble fibre helps more water to bind to stools and make them softer and easier to pass.
- Flaxseeds provide high-quality plant protein: if you’re looking to up your protein intake, this organic flaxseed could be just what you need! This plant-based protein is rich in the amino acids aspartic acid, glutamic acid and arginine.
